I don't have the details, but I've read recently on some other list...FreeBSD questions probably...that screen does very strange things. Sorry, I don't know any of the details on exactly what "very strange things" means. Tmux, http://tmux.sourceforge.net/, was sited as an alternative. I find it more cumbersome to use, but, unlike screen, I've had zero issues while using it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
